A Surprising Amount of Colour

Did my lunchtime nature walk at work today, and I was surprised to see how much there was in the way of flowers out there.

There were scarlet pimpernel, a new crop of speedwell, a beautiful grass the Flora Incognita tells me is hoarey plantain, and a new crop of borage on the spoil heap that was never quite tidied away after we dug out the herb garden that mutated into the wild vervain patch it is now.

There's still a little bird's foot trefoil in the pictorial meadow, and above my head there were buzzards circling at a high level looking for dead rabbits to feast off.

I haven't seen the local kestrel since I came back to work, I'm sure that will re-appear.

While I write this, we head back towards increased lockdown restrictions. Well, I'm hardly surprised, ever since the pubs opened here social distancing flew out of the window before getting a fast car out of here. The nearest bar to me was having very unsocially distanced fights the first night it opened.

And who'd have thunk it? "Eat Out to (Help spread the virus) Out" had groups of 8 folk from blatantly different households sat in a local hip eatery cum bar, with crowded tables of other diners close by.

I doubt that helped.

  1. Speaking to my 99-year-old Aunt (on the phone) she told me about how she had to self-isolate, living and sleeping in a hut in the garden, for six months when she had TB as a teenager. Kind of puts things in perspective when you hear people whingeing about the current restrictions.

  4. My name is Mr TONY DWAYNE,my wife was having affair with a senior secretary in her office. I love this woman so much that i would not want to share her with any body. i told her to retire from the job and i would take care of all her needs but she would take it because she is been embraced by everybody in her office, this normally leads to quarrel every-time. i tried all i can to please her and she will promise to be good , some days later she will turn back to her normal way.
    i was nearly loosing out, i could not focus in my job, my whole life was full of sorrow and i was thinking i should kill the other man my self and put an end to all this until i saw a testimony from a blog on how IKHIDE could cast a love spell to bring lovers back no matter what is behind the disappointment. so i decided to write him via email:- dr.ikhide@gmail.com and now all my wishes are exactly as i wanted. She told me everything that has happened secretly in the past and i forgave her as DR IKHIDE instructed me to and she loves me and care for me as i ever wanted. i know there are many spells that do not work but i want to assure all you out there no matter what you have been trough to have faith and believe that this is the final solution to your problem.
    Even if my job is taking most of my time, the little free time i have , i will share the good news to everyone in the world because i know that with love brings happiness and hope for a long life.
